WILL POWER, NO. 12 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, RACE WINNER

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 HOW INTENSE WAS THAT RACING AT THE END?
“It was very intense. I could see (Scott) Dixon was able to pass me at the start/finish line. So, I was starting to think about what I was going to do there at the end. Phenomenal job by the guys in the pits. I am so stoked, so happy for Verizon. Shows you how good that Chevy engine is, man, it was super-fast tonight.
“I’m so stoked to win in my second home, where my wife (Liz) is from, Texas. All the family is here, it just feels awesome.”

IS THAT THE SIGNIFICANCE WINNING FOR LIZ AND HERE FAMILY? YOU GUYS HAD A FAMILY REUNION ON THURSDAY:
“We were just talking about it and her cousin said ‘man you haven’t won for me here yet’. And like, he has come year after year and I really didn’t think that it would be this weekend, but oh man, you don’t understand how good that feels.”

IT’S BEEN SUCH AN UP AND DOWN YEAR FOR YOU GUYS. NOW WITH THIS WIN YOU ARE ONLY 40 POINTS OUT OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT CONSIDERING HOW THE YEAR STARTED?
“Yeah, I know. I mean, I’m so stoked for the win, I don’t really care about the rest. I just wanted to win here in Texas and I did it.”

ROAD AMERICA IS NEXT, SO THAT IS A GOOD SIGN:
“Yeah, man, we are coming. We are coming.”
